Chic and simple Wedding at Shadow Lawn

This was a nice and simple chic wedding at Shadow Lawn. It was published in the “Real Weddings” section of Brides Magazine Fall 2009 issue.

The Bride was sweet and I loved her dress. The bouquet had all white Dahlias and Jasmine vines.

The groom’s Boutonnière had white Ranunculus, a Dahlia bud and Ivy.

The couple married at Clove Chapel in High Falls. I think it is the cutest little place. At either side of the chapel entrance were the couple’s initials. Steve made floral sprays with Roes, Hydrangea, Orchids, Gerbera daisies, Ivy, and Italian Ruscus. There were garlands on each banister.At the altar were large branches.

The Registration Table had a large arrangement with Casablanca Lilies and white Delphinium.

The Tables were family style in the barn. We used Ball jars with white stone, white Dahlia’s and Jasmine Vines. We also had small bud vases down each table with stones and white Gerbera Daisies.

I have more of this wedding on file in another computer so I will need to find them to post.

Since Wedding season is over, I will be posting many weddings and events from our past. There are so many wonderful ones this will keep me busy.
I started my Blog before this past season and filled it with recent work. I am happy that I can focus and share other work with you.

I will be mixing up seasons as well as weddings and events. I hope that all of you interested in weddings will still take a peek at our events sections. A centerpiece is a centerpiece and you may miss some that inspire you.

Buttermilk Falls - September Wedding

What a sweet Bride. I never made it to the wedding at Buttermilk. I posted the Bouquet photos I took on a post titled Onteora and Buttermilk Bouquets. Here are the professional photos that the photographer took. Unfortunately, he did not take many of the tables and I know they were really nice. Steve set most of the tables there so I never got my stills.  This is a main reason why I like shooting my own photos. It ensures that we will get the photos we want. The couple is from Poland but has lived here for a while now.

      The Brides Bouquet had white Stock, Quicksand Roses, pink Garden Roses, pale yellow Garden Roses, pink Lisianthus, Lady’s Mantle, Stars of Bethlehem, white Freesia, and pink Winterberry.

The Maid of Honor’s Bouquet was similar with the addition of white Dahlia’s, ivory Stock, white Winterberries, and Raspberry Godetia.

For the Brides Maids there were more peach and yellow Garden Roses, pink Dahlia’s, Astilbe, and peach Stock.

Many couples want a Chuppah frame even when they are not Jewish. It is nice to be under a four-post frame.

The tables were really pretty and elegant. We alternated tables. A low dish with flower buds, pillar candles and three small bubble bowls. Steve used pale yellow Tulips, pink Garden Roses, and Cymbidium Orchids.

The other tables had four candle stands of different heights. There were three floral clusters with Roses, Winterberry, Stock, Lisianthus, and Ivy.

Indian Style Wedding - Our last wedding of the season

The last wedding of the season was on November 20^th at Round Hill House. We would like to take the time to THANK all the couples, locations, and vendors who gave us their trust and support making this year the most joyous successful year to date. We especially want to thank Eileen, Amanda, and Craig for all of your loyalty and hard work, you have our hearts and gratitude, and we could not have done it without you.

 The Bride was American and the Groom was Indian. This wedding was fun because we could use lots of color. For the reception, the Bride chose Teal table linen with gold runners. She was inspired by the colors of Peacock feathers.

For this ceremony, Steve created a beautiful “Mandaap” (an Indian ceremony arch). He used fabric from the Bride, garlands, flowers, feathers, branch, hanging budvases, jewels, and a garland with faux floral lights.

We alternated two sets of table arrangements. We used antique rusted Urns with green Hydrangea, blue Delphinium, rust Lilies, Spider Mums, purple Stock, Mango Calla Lilies, eggplant Carnations, and Peacock feathers.

In the black ceramic Squares we used eggplant Carnations, rust Lilies, Spider Mums, green Hydrangea, blue Delphinium, purple Stock, feathers and moss balls.

The Bride liked the idea of mixing Magenta and Teal. For the Brides Bouquet we used Stars of Bethlehem, ivory Stock, green Parrot Tulips, dark wine Peonies, dark red Garden Roses, purple Anemone, Mango Calla Lilies, rust Yarrow with Peacock feathers and jewels. I wrapped the bouquet in teal ribbon with a corset style magenta overlay.

The Maid of Honor had similar flowers to the Bride with teal ribbon and magenta pins.
